Quick update: Amazon also has Okami for $30 shipped now, for anyone who feels like skimping out on sales tax. This is presumably in response to BB's price, so the price cut is probably only gonna last a week.

After reading a few other articles/forum threads that mention the possibility of supply/demand tomorrow, I'm thinking about a lunch trip to BB, They had A LOT of their in store preorder slips for Fit amongst the Wii titles this weekend. $5 deposit saves you a copy.

The linked coupon settles it. You rock, tampabuc!

edit: While still taking preorders, my local BB pulled the in store flyers regarding it. Mgr @ the help desk said they had only sold 15 reservations & that they received WAY MORE (his words) than that for stock tomorrow. Enough to potentially last them thru this weekend's ad, he stated.

From the supply/demand issues mentioned elsewhere, this surprised me. But I imagine BB is a "top tier" customer w/ Nintendo & had access to plenty of stock.

The above mentioned coupon, of course, will still be valid.

In what could be termed an ANTI-DEAL, shop4tech.com is selling a Wii Weapon Kit 8-in-1 Bundle for $28. Totally stupid gun/axe/sword/dagger/shield/etc.-shaped foam attachments for your Wiimote to up your manliness quotient to the heavens. Anyone who orders this automatically gets a free year's supply of My Derision, yet also, grudging respect. I mean, four of the attachments are just different kinds of knives. That's commitment.

Not strictly a Wii deal, but lots of people here seem to be considering Eneloops, so here you go. Pretty good deal for four AAs, two AAAs, and "spacers" that will let you use the AAs as C or D-cell batteries. Charger looks to only charge two at a time, but if you need both AA and AAA rechargeables, seems like a no-brainer.

Very similar to the set Costco was selling a couple months back (which I bought), except the Costco version had double the batteries & a 4 battery charger for around $30. Good deal on the Amazon set, though. May get it just to have more batteries & 2nd charger. Charging is pretty fast, BTW.

The Eneloops do come out of the box w/ a full charge, so you can start using them immediately. Since getting them, I find they hold charge/last longer than the other NiMH batteries I have. In a Wiimote, for example, A fresh pair register a "full charge" on the Wii onscreen remote info, quickly drop to "3 bars" but stay there for a long time before dropping any lower.

Plus, one of my 3 Wiimotes has had a set of Eneloops in it, sitting idle w/ their OOB charge, for a few weeks. Checked last night....still a "3 bar" battery level.

The description says only 2 AAA: "The Kit comes with four AA batteries and two AAA batteries,".

I know that makes a big difference to some people. I'm seeing more and more AAA uses around the house. I bought a couple of the eneloop "power packs" with a total of 8 AAA, and it's still not enough.

My question is, though---and no relation to Wii, I apologize---why has Amazon JACKED UP prices on much of their remaining HD DVD stock? Several titles I was hoping to get when the prices crept lower, but the opposite is happening. Interesting....is "collector's item" status happening for the vanquished HD format's discs already?

BluRay still has rather pricey players, but the discs are getting a bit cheaper & BOGOs are happening here & there. HD DVD players can, in many cases, still be had for a song.....but the software prices are inflating.

The super awesome ZODIAC 2 disc HD DVD set went from $18.95 up to $27.95, I believe. Close to it's initial release price. And that's Amazon's price, not from a secondary dealer (can be had used from some of them for close to the old price). What gives, Amazon? Don't you want to clear your warehouses of the "dead" format?

Sorry for the mini-rant....back to the smokin' Wii deals!!!
